• "A lovely, comfortable and well equipped cottage with great views."

  We also loved the pretty village of Troutbeck and being able to do great hikes from the front door and walk to the pubs. The only downside was that the cottage didn’t get quite warm enough despite boosting the temperature. The radiators didn’t come on at all in the mornings. The ambient temperature needs to be set a little higher. Other than that we had a great stay and appreciated the Welcome goodies.

• "Lovely comfortable cottage nestled in the valley with beautiful views at the rear to the Yoke - Ill Bell ridge."

  Tasteful decoration with good quality finishes and furniture. Kitchen is very well equipped. Bed in main bedroom is enormous and extremely comfortable. Only comment would be that a 13.5 tog duvet was very warm in a sunny week! Short walk to excellent pub and a great position for wide variety of walks including from the door. The parking is not straightforward. Yes, there is parking for two cars but of not more than medium size. Your have to reverse in from a narrow lane and the entrance to the parking area is narrowed by stone walls on either side. Other than that, highly recommended. A lovely week.

• "Lovely cottage but quite difficult to find which one it was in the 'village' ."

  .... it needs a sign ON THE GATE or adjacent wall as it is VERY difficult to get off the VERY narrow lane into the property. Multi manoevres are required to get in/out of the steepish 'driveway'. 2017 visitors book also commented about this. Also, it really should be advised that it is NOT suitable to park 2 cars there .... unless they are small or you book your car in for 'scrape' repairs in advance ! Other than that the cottage is a gem of a place with everything you want provided (a couple of throws for the cold leather suite would be nice, as would a 4-slot toaster, and a couple of fan heaters if its cold as the heat-source radiators don't really get warm at all and the single convector heater is not sufficient). Apart from those few gripes don't let them put you off booking this cottage..... it's great and in a good location for exploring the area.

• "This is a lovely cottage, tastefully furnished and very comfortable, in a cracking location."

  It's quiet and peaceful, with superb walks (high or low level) from the door, plus the option to take the bus further afield. There is a brilliant pub (the Queen's Head) just a 2 minute walk away. The parking area is a little tricky to access and is tight for 2 cars, but it would be fine for just one vehicle. We would be very happy to stay here again and would definitely recommend it to others.

• "Very much enjoyed our stay even though the weather was very wet."

  Location and views from the back of the cottage great. Loved the main bedroom, but bathroom could do with a bit of work doing. Kitchen good and was easy to use, but a few things not clean on the work tops. A few maintenance issues and also lost internet connection half way through stay. It would not reset. Good walking from the door. Appreciated the welcome pack with delicious bread and cakes, Thank you.

• "The location was great."

  The equipment and facilities within the property were great, as was the welcome pack - everything you would need was there. The only issue was the heating, which is ground source and is supposed to provide a constant temperature. The radiators only just got warm at the top and either need bleeding or the system is ineffective. With drafts from under the door, we had to use the coal/log fire every day, which cost a few pounds and was a shame

• "Wonderful Views!"

  Lovely well appointed cottage with superb views. Beds were comfortable and the cottage was really clean and warm on our arrival. The owners had provided everything you could need to make the start of your holiday stress free, together with an exceptional welcome pack which was much appreciated after our long journey. We had such a restful holiday and will certainly return in the near future.

  Welcome pack of bread, milk and butter most appreciated, and the wine was great! The sign for the cottage could do with some lighting, we arrived in the dark and had difficulty locating the right one.

• "Fantastic property which is well equipped and perfect for a break in the Lakes."

  The location is peaceful and picturesque with absolutely stunning views at the rear of the property. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but are only a 2 minute walk from the Queens Head which does amazing food and a good pint!

• "Well equipped cottage on the inside."

  Lovely, huge main bed, beautiful views. Ironing board but no iron. No real relaxing chairs to sit on outside. The temperature in the first part of the week was chilly, no heating on so resorted to a small electric fir in the living room.
